Does anyone know if having a Soft Power Muay Thai DTV is it ok to travel around Thailand to train at any gym other than the gym used in the application? Or is this not checked at all at the moment if only extending by doing border bounces?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The question discusses the flexibility of training at different gyms in Thailand while holding a Soft Power Muay Thai DTV visa. Responses indicate mixed experiences; some report that gym attendance is occasionally checked, while others believe there is minimal monitoring, suggesting travelers can potentially train at different gyms without issue.
If I buy a package for 6 months then am I expected to stay 6 months without leaving Thailand as well or can I take a break and return a few months later to continue assuming the gym is ok with it?

Anonymous participant I guess it depends on the package you sign up for, they seem to vary

Some have posted here that their gym got checked. Not a lot though. Better checking with the gym directly.

Anonymous participant No idea on consequences as it is a new visa and checks aren't common for now. You may check what's done with ED visa holders (students). They used to check classes attendance and they just have announced some stricter measures these last days in the news.

Great to hear you're working for thai immigration and already know everything about Thailand. Have you heard about the schools getting checked when you're under an ED visa? Well that's happening! And yes, it has been reported by DTV holders for some Muay Thai schools here. I'm not the only one saying so apparently...
if he has seem it written somewhere, that is his favorite slogan. I think it is normal there are checks, but I think nothing is against switching to another gym in another place, the visa rules don't mention you should not switch.
You don't need to be a genius to understand that immigration will check for visa requirements, and that will include the activities related to the visa. If a Muay Thai is used by far more DTV holders than the capacity of the school, that might get some attention. That certainly will not mean every school and every DTV holder will be investigated, but it will happen.
I just learned from you, when others write something just ask dumb questions like "Did you see that written anywhere? or : How is your creative writing going"
I thought you might like it to get same type of questions on your reactions as you give to others.
